I'd totally donate some BLUEHOLMEâ„¢ Prentice Rules for a BLUEHOLMEâ„¢ dungeon contest.

I'd totally donate some BLUEHOLMEâ„¢ Prentice Rules for a BLUEHOLMEâ„¢ dungeon contest. That is a cool idea. How about, using BLUEHOLME, designers are given the option to create a completely authentic (reinvisioned) sample dungeon as seen in Holmes '77; or, 1-3 levels beneath Portown (but not quite down to the levels of the forgotten city-ruins).

For what it's worth, I'd give this a shot if I had the time. I don't have Holmes, though -- does that reprint from '99 or whenever have everything?

Here Ye, Here Ye! We are about ready to announce our contest winners. Out of our initial group of ten participants we received five emtries; however, due to circumstances beyond one entrants control he was not able to provide a map.
Our three judges were tetramorph , waysoftheearth and JMiskimen .
I want to thank each of our judges for participating and their due diligence in the judging of our contest!
The judging criteria were:
Taking into consideration both the text and the map and how well the two complement one other in the following three areas:
1. Creativity of content (uniqueness and originality)
2. Ease of use (Can you easily see how to use this setting in some really fun ways)
3. Clarity of presentation (Is it well presented, easy to understand and ready to use)
Ye Contest Winners are:
Honorable Mention Greathonk mormonyoyoman catergorized as High Gonzo
Runner Up Cult of the Forgotten Plateau captaincrumbcake catergorized as Classic
Third Place Rockrose @hengest catergorized as Best Tale - Prize: four issues of Dragon Magazine #100, #116, #128 and #134

First Place Xenolithicum Necromancer catergorized as Over-all Best Entry - Prize: CZ1: Cairn of the Skeleton King (2006) by Rob Kuntz.
Congratulations to our first winner Necromancer and to each of you and thank you for being part of this.
All of you who have not yet given me permission to include your entry in the overall pdf compilation, please do so (please submit the missing map if you can and I will include it in the compilation). The three who placed, please send me your address so that I can mail out the prizes to you.

Good going one and all! So every one got a categorization which is descriptive of their entry (High Gonzo, etc), but Necromancer did not. Thus it is a mystery? What typification was it, and can we see these?

What typification was it, and can we see these? Well we could have called Necromancer's entry "Amazing Map". The plan is to issue a pdf with all of the entries in it. As noted there was one missing map and if that is submitted I will include it. Big congrats to the winners. Well done. And, yes, PD, you've got my permit to include my submission in your pdf. Thank you captaincrumbcake!

Coming home after a pretty rough week at work, feel like I'm coming down with something, spend some time with the little ones, put them to sleep, and log on to see if anything has happened on this board. Wow. I check the calendar. Nope, it's not April 1st. Are you kidding me!? Well, thank you, Admin Pete, for putting this contest together, and for those generous prizes. Also thanks to the honorable judges and all the others who participated, no matter if you made the deadline or not. I'm really looking forward to see the rest of the entries, the titles alone sound intriguing and exciting! I'm as grateful as I'm surprised. Thanks a lot, you guys. (Now this was fun, let's do it again!)

My wife's birthday is today the 7th and so I will not be doing anything on the combined document before Monday or Tuesday night.
